New Lenox Loyalty Day Parade Set For May 4

NEW LENOX, IL — New Lenox officials have set the date for a beloved town tradition.

The New Lenox Loyalty Day Parade is planned for Sunday, May 4. Now in its 45th year, the parade will kick off at 2 p.m. Due to the roundabout construction at Cedar and Haven, the parade route has been changed this year. It will now kick-off at the intersection of Cedar and Joliet Hwy, head west on Joliet Hwy to Gear Drive and then turn north, all the way to its end in the New Lenox Village Commons.

Loyalty Day is a holiday that takes place annually on May 1 and is a day reserved for showing our loyalty to our country and recognizing the heritage of American freedom.

"As the Home of Proud Americans, New Lenox is honored to be able to celebrate our country, our flag, and all those who have served or currently serve in our Armed Forces with this annual event," officials said.

Registration is currently open for groups who are interested in participating in the Loyalty Day Parade. The registration form can be found online. Registration is open through April 11.
